I have an idea...

One man's junk is another man's treasure...

I've got at least a couple parts sitting around that I can never seem to throw out. Neither chassis would be good for any kind of runner or a clean project on it's own, but combined...hmm...


Hybrids are popular these days,...how about a possible "trybrid"?...(quadbrid?)...

I'm gonna try this one with close to "zero dollars" invested as possible.

I've got an idea...

the front looks to be on the front to me...the hacking off of the rear is making me go 'Hmmm....' though. By the pix I was thinkin there might be a baja buggy in mind at first...

Ouch.

Who would hack a Worlds chassis?

At least this one started as a bent, ground up, swiss cheesed "B" stamp...I won't lose sleep at night if this project doesn't work out.

that's a great idea with the odd parts...i got to watch your progression and see what this turns out like.

this is going to be an ultra-short wheelbase... do you have a 12th scale body?

I love this kind of builds and will follow it closely, best of luck

Did a little more rough mock up..

I'm going to try to narrow the rear track width.

More trimming to do...

Has anyone ever sucessfully narrowed a set of dog bones (axles) before?
